In 1932, Karl Jansky at Bell Labs revealed that stars and other objects in space radiated radio waves. Credit: NRAO/AUI. Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. They range from the length of a football to larger than our planet.Heinrich Hertz proved the existence of radio waves in the late 1880s. He used a spark gap attached to an induction coil and a separate spark gap on a receiving antenna.n 1932, Karl Jansky at Bell Labs revealed that stars and other objects in space radiated radio waves.

An electromagnetic (EM) wave is not a sound wave. A sound wave is mechanical energy, and an electromagnetic wave is electromagnetic energy. The EM wave could be a radio or light wave, but in any case, it is composed of moving electric and magnetic fields. This electromagnetic wave can move through air or the vacuum of space, but sound (or any mechanical wave) must have a medium to travel through.
